Leaving of former self slightest trace,

Why should think OF dragging clouds,
OF dreary, dragging clouds of gray.
When 1 have seen them floating light.
Snow-mountains blazing soft and bright,
Or tilmy feathers faint and white,
On many bygone day?
Why should think of signing winds,
Of signing winds that shake the rain
When I've felt breezes fresh and clear
That sing forever past my ear,
And breaths Of summer drifting near
Ger clover-felds and grains

So full of freedom and delight,

O Little Town of Bethlehem.

0 little town of Bethlehem,
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and DIRE amless sleep
The silent hours go by,
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
For Christ is born of Mary,
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep the angels keep
Their watch of wandering love.
0 morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth!
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
How silently how silently,
The wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
No ear may hear His coming;
But III this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him still
The dear Christ enters in.
o holy Child of Bethlehem,
Descend to us. prayi
Cast out sin and enter in;
Be born in to-day.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad -tidings tell:
Oh, come to US, abide with us.
Our Lord Emmanuel!

Within the palace of brain
A Thought of Love dwelt all alone,
And there was not another Thought
That ever dared approach his throne;
Until there came Thought of Hate,
Half-creuching to the sacred seat.
But, Thought of Love stretched forth a hand,
And Thought of Hate died at his feet.
